Parking

Staff may apply for a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) through the ID Card Office, valid for one year (1 July – 30 June). Permits are colour-coded for easy identification, with colours changing annually, and must be displayed on the vehicle’s windscreen when entering campus.

Application Requirements:

  • A valid UKZN Staff Card
  • Active AD login credentials

Parking Fees & Allocation:

  • Open, unreserved parking is free of charge.
  • Reserved parking bays incur a monthly fee, which is deducted from salary. A waiting list is maintained per campus for these bays.

Application Process:

All VEP applications must be submitted online via the Traffic Portal (link below). Once submitted, staff must visit the ID Card Office to print and collect their permit.
Important Information
  • A maximum of two (2) vehicles may be registered on a single permit. The permit is only transferable between the two registered vehicles.
  • VEPs are non-transferable between individuals.
  • Copying or reproducing a UKZN VEP by any means is considered fraud and is a punishable offence.
  • Altering VEP information in any way is strictly prohibited.
  • VEPs are only issued to staff with valid UKZN ID Cards.
  • Replacement Fees: A fee of R80.00 applies for lost or damaged permits. However, if a vehicle is stolen and reported to SAPS, the fee is waived upon presentation of a valid SAPS case number.

Reserved Parking

Staff wishing to have use of (be allocated) a reserved staff bay (open/under-cover) on their home campus, need to apply for such, noting that a waiting list is retained for such bays, and no guarantee of allocation can or will be given.

Reserved bays are not eligible or available for allocation to Honorary or Emeritus appointees.

 

Important:

The “home” campus is also known as the primary campus as recorded on the UKZN ITS System.

Staff members to whom a reserved parking bay has been allocated may not ‘promise’ their reserved bay to another staff member when their contract of employment ends.

For more information on reserved parking areas and the application process for each campus, please click the relevant campus below.

  • Reserved Open – R40 per month
  • Undercover – R80 per month

Vehicle Changes (Add / Remove)

  • Any changes to vehicle details (registration number, new vehicle, etc.) must be made by applying in person at the ID Card Office.
  • Staff must complete a Vehicle Change Form and attach their existing VEP when submitting.
